1971 Map of Thomaston

Genealogists and local historians can trace numerous rural landmarks, such as Atwater Sch, Hannahs Mill, and several family and community burial grounds like Crystal Hill Cem and Bethesda Cem. The Central of Georgia railroad line serves as a primary transportation artery, connecting the textile and industrial centers with the surrounding agricultural landscape of Upson and Pike Counties. The transition from the developed core to the more wooded terrain of Indian Grave Mountain in the northwest provides a clear view of the area's physical geography.
